ANGE POSTECOGLOU has guided his team to a nine-point lead at the top of the SPFL table, leading to Michael Beale conceding the league and switching his focus to the cups.

With the significant gap, it was never likely that The Rangers would come back and put up a fight, and the gap could stretch further if Celtic gets a win in the home derby before the split. To surrender the title is a big thing and shows a lack of belief. Behind closed doors, it’s almost acceptable, but to the media, it’s strange and must be extremely demotivating for the players.
It’s a poor mentality, but Ange Postecoglou isn’t paying any attention to Beale, admitting he’s not even listening to what he’s said.
When asked about his thoughts on Beale’s comments, Postecoglou gave a brief response, admitting he isn’t interested in what the Ibrox boss has to say. He said: [Celtic TV]
“I’m neither interested or surprised. I haven’t heard the comments but your original point is the most accurate, I don’t pay interest to it.”
